Inside Llewyn Davis has been named Best Picture of 2013 by the Toronto Film Critics Association.

Oscar Isaac received the Best Actor prize for playing the title role in Llewyn Davis, Joel and Ethan Coen’s tale of a folksinger making his way through New York’s Greenwich Village in 1961. It opens in Toronto on Dec. 20.

Cate Blanchett was named Best Actress for her performance as a disintegrating woman of privilege in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine.

Jennifer Lawrence was named Best Supporting Actress for her role in American Hustle, while Jared Leto received Best Supporting Actor kudos for Dallas Buyers Club. Director Alfonso Cuarón won for Gravity.

The critics voted on the awards at a meeting Dec. 15. They also chose three finalists for the $100,000 Rogers Best Canadian Film Award, The Dirties, Gabrielle and Watermark, and gave the 2013 BMO Allan King Documentary Award to The Act of Killing.
